The invention relates to a method for segmentation of a three-dimensional structure in a three-dimensional data set, especially a medical data set. The method uses a three-dimensional deformable model, wherein the surface of the model consists of a net of polygonal meshes. The meshes are split into groups,...http://www.google.ca/patents/US7440609?utm_source=gb-gplus-sharePatent US7440609 - Method of segmenting a three-dimensional structure
